Summary

This will be a single-center prospective randomized control trial that is Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved. The study plans to enroll 250 female patients presenting to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for stereotactic biopsy. This study is a prospective and will target approximately 250 patients. This will be a HIPPA-compliant randomized control trial planned on spanning approximately six months' time. Patients will be entered into the study only based on their already scheduled stereotactic biopsy procedure. Patients will be informed of the study and they will be offered the opportunity to participate or not participate in the study. Their participation is completely voluntary. This study will not involve any intervention that is not already a part of standard care. Patients will be randomized to two groups, one group that will undergo clip placement with approximately with a 5 mm retraction of the biopsy clip post-placement and one that will involve no retraction prior to deployment.
